Mutated Spirit-Life Dual-Attribute Plant Spirit Beast

"Then it's settled." Tang Chuan nodded, took out some money, and paid for it.

He then strapped the Iron Spear to his back and quickly left the market. A cautious glint rose in his eyes as he muttered inwardly:

Although I absorbed the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, causing my Soul Power to surge, my physical abilities and speed are now far beyond those of ordinary people, but the Blue Silver Grass's offensive power is clearly lacking right now.

Once I enter the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, I'll inevitably encounter Hundred-Year or even Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. Relying solely on the Blue Silver Grass Spirit for offense and defense would be rather risky.

With a weapon in hand, I'll at least have a little more confidence at critical moments.

Tang Chuan dared to travel alone to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest because:

First, his target Soul Beast was a Plant-Type Spirit Beast. Such Soul Beasts were inherently poor at attacking. As long as he struck accurately, there would be no need for any direct confrontation.

Second, although he did not possess a Soul Skill yet, the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had given him a Flight Skill. If danger truly arose, he could simply fly away and escape.

A little over ten minutes later.

Tang Chuan stepped into the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

All he could see were lush, emerald-green trees. Ancient trees towered into the sky, their dense canopies blocking out the sun.

The sunlight was filtered through layer upon layer of branches and leaves, leaving only dappled shadows scattered across the forest floor. The ground was damp and covered in moss, while waves of mixed scents—tree sap, soil, and rotting leaves—assaulted his nose.

Clutching the Iron Spear tightly, Tang Chuan slowly pushed aside the tangled thorns before him.

"The plants here really are... much more savage than that little patch of forest near Holy Spirit Village." As he walked, he muttered under his breath.

At once, wherever the Iron Spear in Tang Chuan's hand pointed, the thorns parted and the mud and Grass bent down.

Tang Chuan knew very well that the area he was in could not be considered dangerous. The truly terrifying creatures were the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

And his target this time was merely a Hundred-Year Plant-Type Spirit Beast.

"I remember the books saying that Illusionary Hidden Flowers live in damp places year-round, especially in several Swamp Areas on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Their flower buds have a special humus-like scent that attracts small animals... They use this method to hunt." As he recalled this in his mind, Tang Chuan took out the map he had brought with him and compared it with the terrain.

"Hmm. If I follow this direction and pass through the Black Fir Forest ahead, after another three to five li... I should reach the Savage Swamp marked on the map."

Half an hour later.

Tang Chuan slowly stepped into a gray-green Swamp Area. The soil here was soft and slippery, and every step came with a gurgling suction sound, as unpleasant as stepping on rotting flesh.

Scanning his surroundings, he saw vines of all shapes swaying in the muddy water.

"It looks like I haven't seen any sign of an Illusionary Hidden Flower..." Tang Chuan said with a slight furrow in his brow.

"Still, this shouldn't be difficult for me."

As his voice fell, he slowly spread open his right hand. In his palm, a Blue-gold Blue Silver Grass quietly appeared. Guided by his Soul Power, the Blue Silver Grass crawled out like a spirit serpent and burrowed into the muddy earth beside his feet.

Buzz—

In an instant, his Blue Silver Grass formed a subtle resonance with the wild Blue Silver Grass growing naturally across the surrounding ground.

In the blink of an eye, the perspectives of every Blue Silver Grass within a one-kilometer radius entered Tang Chuan's Spiritual perception, as though he had suddenly gained countless pairs of eyes.

Behind the bushes, beneath the vines, beside the puddles...

Countless details and outlines converged in his mind, forming a three-dimensional holographic scene.

"Found it!" A sharp glint flashed through Tang Chuan's eyes as the corners of his mouth lifted.

Within the field of his Spiritual Power, several vines that appeared ordinary displayed breathing rhythms completely different from those of the surrounding plants.

Although the Illusionary Hidden Flowers perfectly simulated the wildflowers and bushes around them, the photosynthesis frequency of each root system, as well as their faint Soul Power Fluctuation, differed from the normal patterns of other plants.

"They're disguised far too perfectly... If I couldn't connect with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass, then even if someone several levels above me came here, they probably wouldn't notice them at all!" Tang Chuan took a deep breath, and his gaze instantly sharpened.

The next second, Tang Chuan held the Iron Spear horizontally and moved beside the swamp like a hunting leopard. When he drew close to the area he had locked onto, he suddenly swung the Iron Spear in a wide horizontal sweep!

"Whoosh—!"

The Iron Spear tore through the air, stirring up a powerful gust that swept a large amount of dead leaves and muddy water into the air.

The next moment, a sudden change occurred.

The large patch of withered Grass and vines that had been lying quietly in the muddy water suddenly moved like a surging tide. Clusters of vines and leaves unfurled, revealing their true forms.

It was an entire patch of Illusionary Hidden Flowers!

The instant they were attacked, they activated their Soul Beast instincts. One after another, they revealed their ferocious true bodies beneath the camouflage. Their petals were lined with sharp teeth, while their roots writhed like Tentacles and radiated an eerie glow as they rapidly closed in around Tang Chuan!

"You want to hunt me down?!"

Tang Chuan gave a cold snort, shifted his footing, and flicked the Long Spear in his hands. With another sweep, he smashed the roots of the nearest Illusionary Hidden Flowers to pieces, shattering their petals.

But he did not linger in battle. Instead, he fixed his gaze on a special individual at the very center of the Illusionary Hidden Flower cluster. This enormous Illusionary Hidden Flower had not moved. At that moment, it seemed to be seated among the others like an emperor surrounded by its subjects, standing silently at the center.

Unlike the other Illusionary Hidden Flowers, the petals of this enormous one displayed interwoven blue-and-white patterns instead of the normal purple. Extremely fine blue-gold veins extended across its leaves, giving it a soft yet dignified appearance.

"This Illusionary Hidden Flower seems to be a mutated individual?"

Seeing this, Tang Chuan's eyes narrowed. His heart trembled, and he spoke with slight surprise.

The instant he extended his Spiritual Power, he sensed an extremely familiar Life Aura. If he had not absorbed the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone and happened to be a Transmigrator with stronger Spiritual Power than ordinary people, he would absolutely never have detected it.

"Besides a Spiritual Power Fluctuation... there's also a dense Life Aura?"

Immediately afterward, information on plant mutations that Tang Chuan had seen in the library surfaced rapidly in his mind: "In extremely rare cases, if a Plant Spirit Beast comes into contact with pollen from a higher-level Plant Spirit Beast during pollination, it may trigger the Spirit Beast's evolution or mutation. In exceptionally rare cases, it may even develop Dual-Attribute abilities."

Staring at the mutated individual standing silently in the center of the Illusionary Hidden Flower cluster, Tang Chuan's vigilance had already reached its peak. He then slowly took a deep breath, and the Blue Silver Grass Spirit blossomed from his palm. Its lush vines coiled around his arm, radiating a faint blue-gold glow.

At the same time, he urged the Spiritual Power within his body and quietly released it. It spread out like an Invisible Great Net, slowly enveloping the Illusionary Hidden Flower before him.

"Let me see exactly what you are."

The instant his Spiritual Power entered it, he immediately sensed that this Illusionary Hidden Flower's mental structure was completely different from those of the ordinary individuals around it. It possessed a clearly layered and highly active spiritual structure!

Just as Tang Chuan's Spiritual Power probed deeper inside.

"Hmm?"

His pupils suddenly contracted. He felt the Blue Silver Grass Spirit within his body abruptly pulse on its own. Then, a faint, familiar Life Aura slowly emerged from within the Illusionary Hidden Flower.

That aura actually carried fluctuations extremely similar to those of his own Blue Silver Grass bloodline!

"This is..."
